Edward Gorey, Großmeister des Kuriosen
Düster und komisch, voller skurriler Wesen und makaberer Ideen sind die Zeichnungen und Geschichten von Edward Gorey. Walter Moers stellt den „Großmeister des Kuriosen“ in einem reich illustrierten Buch vor.
„Für einen unabhängigen Künstler hat er zu viele Auftragsarbeiten abgeliefert, für einen Illustrator hat er sich zu viele künstlerische Freiheiten herausgenommen, für einen Schriftsteller hat er ziemlich wenig geschrieben, für einen Kinderbuchautor sterben zu viele Kinder in seinen Büchern, für einen Humoristen sind einige seiner Bücher zu düster und für einen Horrorautor gibt es zu viel zu lachen.“ Walter Moers

It's officially Halloween here, so I'm doing my traditional posting of this riff on Edward Gorey's The Gashlycrumb Tinies.
🎶
One by one we bite the dust
Kick the bucket, begin to rust
Give up the ghost when your number's up
We all fall down
Ashes to ashes, bones to paste
You'll wither away in your resting place
Eternity in a wooden case
We all fall down 🎶A Gorey Demise - Creature Feature

Really wish we could see this. Alas, July is the only time we've been able visit the area.
I love Edward Gorey!#Libraries #Library #EdwardGorey #Comics #nc_comics #ComicStrip

Five stars:
The Doubtful Guest by Edward Gorey (1957) is Gorey's third book. It features a bird shaped guest who arrives uninvited and unannounced. The book is a series of stated things the guest does with illustrations of the family they have invaded trying to carry on as if they're not there.

Just finished reading this book, which I had picked up in London. Written by a long-time theatrical collaborator of Gorey’s, it complements Mark Dery’s biography of him, focusing mainly on his late-life theatrical career on Cape Cod, and featuring photographs, drawings and excerpts of scripts/directions.
I cannot help but wonder whether, had Edward Gorey lived another 5-10 years, he’d be known as a playwright.

Don't you find it fascinating when someone, usually a #writer or philosopher, says something simple but it actually contains hidden complexity and hidden depth? I do! #thinking #EdwardGorey

100 years ago, 22 Feb 1925, #EdwardGorey was born in Chicago. The American writer & artist was famous for his odd & #macabre illustrated books, both idiosyncratic & highly influential for the #Gothic style. Here are 4 books by him from our collection 🖤
